Difficulty <1,,3433, molis>
signifies "with difficulty, hardly" (from molos, "toil"). In Luk 9:39, it is rendered "hardly," of the "difficulty" in the departure of a demon. In Act 1:27,8,16, where the AV has three different renderings, "scarce," "hardly," and "much work," respectively, the RV has "with difficulty" in each place. For its other meanings, "scarce, scarcely," see Act 14:18, Rom 5:7, 1Pe 4:18. See HARDLY, No. 3.
